BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE 1. Field of the Disclosure

The present disclosure relates to a display device, and more particularly to a display device with an organic light emitting diode.

2. Description of the Prior Art

In an electronic (display) device, a capacitor is provided so that a thin film transistor may have a stable voltage during the operation of each frame. If the space for a capacitor is too limited to have the needed capacitance value, the brightness uniformity of the display may be affected. In addition, when a transparent conductive material is used in the cathode of an organic light emitting diode, the higher impedance of the transparent conductive material affects the voltage distribution, and the insufficient voltage causes IR drop. Some electronic devices are equipped with auxiliary electrodes to reduce the aforementioned IR drop problem. However, under the coexistence of capacitors and auxiliary electrodes, an interference may occur between the capacitor and the auxiliary electrode. The interference need to be improved.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a display device includes a substrate, a first inorganic layer, a thin film transistor, a storage capacitor, a first organic layer, a blue organic light emitting diode, a first sealing layer, a wavelength conversion element, a blue light blocking element and a second sealing layer. A first inorganic layer is disposed on the substrate. A thin film transistor is disposed on the first inorganic layer, and includes a metal oxide semiconductor, a gate electrode overlapping the metal oxide semiconductor, a source electrode and a drain electrode electrically connected with the metal oxide semiconductor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present disclosure may be understood by reference to the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the drawings as described below. It is noted that, for purposes of illustrative clarity and being easily understood by the readers, various drawings of this disclosure show a portion of the touch display device, and certain elements in various drawings may not be drawn to scale. In addition, the number and dimension of each device shown in drawings are only illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. In addition, similar and/or corresponding numeral references may be used in different embodiments. They are used for a simple and clear description of some embodiments, and do not imply that there is any connection between the different embodiments and/or structures discussed.

Certain terms are used throughout the description and following claims to refer to particular components. As one skilled in the art will understand, electronic equipment manufacturers may refer to a component by different names. This document does not intend to distinguish between components that differ in name but not function. In the following description and in the claims, the terms “include”, “comprise” and “have” are used in an open-ended fashion, and thus should be interpreted to mean “include, but not limited to”.

The directional terms mentioned in this article, such as “on”, “below”, “front”, “rear”, “left”, “right”, etc., only refer to the directions of the drawings. In the drawings, each drawing depicts the general features of the methods, structures and/or materials used in specific embodiments. However, these drawings should not be construed as defining or limiting the scope or nature in these embodiments. For example, in terms of clarity, the relative size, thickness, and position of each layer, region, and/or structure may be reduced or enlarged.

The terms “about”, “substantially”, “equal”, or “_(same)” generally mean within 20% of a given value or range, or mean within 10%, 5%, 3%, 2%, 1%, or 0.5% of a given value or range.

Although terms such as first, second, third, etc., may be used to describe diverse constituent elements, such constituent elements are not limited by the terms. The terms are used only to discriminate a constituent element from other constituent elements in the specification. The claims may not use the same terms, but instead may use the terms first, second, third, etc. with respect to the order in which an element is claimed. Accordingly, in the following description, a first constituent element may be a second constituent element in a claim.

In this disclosure, the thickness, the length and the width may be measured by using an optical microscope, and the thickness may be measured by a cross-sectional image in an electron microscope, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In addition, there may be a certain error between any two values or directions used for comparison. If the first value is equal to the second value, it implies that there may be an error of about 10% between the first value and the second value. If the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, the angle between the two may be between 80 degrees and 100 degrees. If the first direction is parallel to the second direction, the angle between the first direction and the second direction may be between 0 degree and 10 degrees. Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical terms and scientific terms) used herein have the same meanings as commonly understood by those persons having ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. It is understandable that these terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having meanings consistent with the relevant technology and the background or context of this disclosure, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or excessively formal way unless they are specifically defined in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

When a component or a film layer is referred to as “disposed on another component or another film layer” or “connected to (or with) another component or another film layer”, it can mean that the component or film layer is directly disposed on another On a component or film layer, or directly connected to (or with) another component or film layer, or there may be other components or film layers in between. In contrast, when a component is said to be “directly disposed on another component or film” or “directly connected to (or with) another component or film”, there is no component or film between the two.

It should be noted that the technical solutions provided by the different embodiments below may be used interchangeably, combined or mixed to form another embodiment without violating the gist of the disclosure. When a part (or a film layer) overlaps another part (or another film layer), it means that a part (or a film layer) and another part (or another film layer) are in the upper direction Overlapped.

In other words, the second electrode 132, the source electrode 124, and/or the drain electrode 123 may be formed of the same conductive layer, and the above configuration may simplify the manufacturing process. In some embodiments, the thin film transistor 120 may include a metal oxide semiconductor 121, a gate electrode 122, a source electrode 124, a drain electrode 123 and a portion of the second inorganic layer 112, but it is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the storage capacitor 130 may include a first electrode 131, a second electrode 132 and a portion of the third inorganic layer 113, but it is not limited thereto. The dielectric layer (for example, the third inorganic layer 113) disposed between the first electrode 131 and the second electrode 132 of the storage capacitor 130 may be optionally adjusted. In some embodiments, in the top view direction D1, the storage capacitor 130 may not overlap the thin film transistor 120 to reduce the interference between the storage capacitor 130 and the thin film transistor 120.

Please refer to FIG. 1B, a first organic layer 140 may be disposed on the thin film transistor 120. The first organic layer 140 may be used as a planarization layer, and the first organic layer 140 may be patterned to form a contact via 141. Then, a third conductive layer (not shown) may be disposed on the first organic layer 140, a portion of the third conductive layer may be filled in the contact via 141, and then the third conductive layer may be patterned to obtain an anode 151 of the blue organic light emitting diode 150. Next, a patterned second organic layer 142 may be disposed to expose a portion of the anode 151, and the patterned second organic layer 142 may be used as a pixel definition layer (PDL). Then, the blue organic light emitting layer 153 and the cathode 152 may be disposed to complete the production of the blue organic light emitting diode 150.

In some embodiments, the planarization layer 172 may include a transparent material, the refractive index of the planarization layer 172 and the refractive index of an adjacent layer may match to facilitate the light emission. In some embodiments, the planarization layer 172 may include an organic material, but it is not limited thereto.

In the top view direction D1, the pattern of the light-shielding layer 173 may not overlap the blue organic light emitting diode 150 (that is, misaligned with each other), and the openings O between the patterns of the light-shielding layer 173 may be selectively disposed with the blue light blocking element 170 and/or the wavelength conversion element 166. The blue light blocking element 170 may be disposed between the second sealing layer 179 and the wavelength conversion element 166, but it is not limited thereto. Next, an insulating layer 171 may be disposed to cover the light shielding layer 173, the blue blocking element 170 and/or the wavelength conversion element 166. Then, a planarization layer 172 may be disposed on the insulating layer 171, so that the second substrate structure 102 may have a flat surface to facilitate the subsequent attachment to the substrate 101 with the layers disposed on the substrate 101. Later, the second substrate structure 102 is attached to the substrate 101. After the attachment is completed, in the top view direction D1, the wavelength conversion element 166 may roughly overlap the blue organic light emitting diode 150, the term “overlap” includes partial overlap and complete overlap. A filling layer 174 may be selectively disposed between the second substrate structure 102 and the substrate 101, and the filling layer 174 may include an adhesive material to attach the second substrate structure 102 to the substrate 101, to reduce the offset problem between second substrate structure 102 and the substrates 101. After the second substrate structure 102 and the substrate 101 are aligned and attached, the display device 100 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1C may be obtained. In some embodiments, the filling layer 174 may include an optically functional layer to guide the light emitted by the blue organic light emitting diode 150 to the wavelength conversion element 166 to improve light efficiency, but it is not limited thereto.

Compared with the first embodiment, the main difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment resides in the different configuration of the stack structure of the storage capacitor 130, so similar structures will not be elaborated again. For example, the second electrode 132 may be disposed between the second inorganic layer 112 and the third inorganic layer 113. The second electrode 132 and the gate electrode 122 may be formed of the same conductive layer.

This disclosure proposes a variety of possible embodiments. In some embodiments, a configuration may simplify the manufacturing process when the first electrode and/or the second electrode of the storage capacitor and other electrodes of the display device (for example the gate electrode, the drain electrode, the source electrode or the shielding metal layer) are formed of the same conductive layer. In some embodiments, it may facilitate the design flexibility of the first electrode and/or the second electrode when the first electrode and/or the second electrode of the storage capacitor and other electrodes (for example the gate electrode, the drain electrode, the source electrode or the shielding metal layer) of the display device are formed of different conductive layers.

The present disclosure also proposes an auxiliary electrode integrated into the stack structure of the display device to reduce the problem of insufficient driving voltage or IR drop. In some embodiments, the design of the auxiliary electrode does not overlap the blue organic light emitting diode 150 and/or the storage capacitor 130 to reduce the shielding of the light emitted from the blue organic light emitting diode 150 caused by the auxiliary electrode 155, or to reduce the opportunity of the auxiliary electrode 155 interfering with the storage capacitor 130. In some embodiments, a configuration may simplify the manufacturing process when the auxiliary electrode 155 is formed of the same conductive layer as other electrodes of the display device (for example the gate electrode, the drain electrode, the source electrode or the shielding metal layer). In some embodiments, it may facilitate the design flexibility of the auxiliary electrode 155 when the auxiliary electrode 155 is formed of a conductive layer which is different from that of other electrodes of the display device (for example the gate electrode, the drain electrode, the source electrode, or the shielding metal layer).
